Unfortunately, in many areas the existing minicab companies they're competing with do actually accomodate wheelchair users. So Uber and its funders are spending billions to try and replace services with ones that are less accessible for many. (With the amount invested and Uber's current market cap, their investors aren't going to be satisfied with mere coexistence - they need to dominate the market.)

If Uber or another service worked with these accessible taxis, it would be a true game changer. Yes, some local taxi services allow you to request wheelchair accessible cars, but you are going to often wait a very long time for them (if they ever come). Also some dispatchers are just not polite about it.

Imagine if you could request one with the click of a button and track its arrival? That would be so helpful.
